The New York Knicks are interviewing Minnesota Timberwolves assistant coach Micah Nori for their head coach opening. Nori is the third candidate known to have an interview with New York, joining former head coaches Mike Brown and Taylor Jenkins.
Nori has been with the Wolves since 2021. He joined the staff under Chris Finch in Finch’s first full season as the head coach. Nori was Minnesota’s sideline coach during the 2023 playoffs, after Finch tore ligaments in his knee.
In addition to the Timberwolves, Nori has also coached with the Toronto Raptors, Sacramento Kings, Denver Nuggets and Detroit Pistons. He’s been on the short list of candidates for several head coach jobs in the past.
